x44
I believe my loyal fans are entitled to an explanation as to why the buses (in my last post) are considered most unreliable here. Of course, all buses are usually considered a bit of a pain to catch, but the bus company makes it incredibly hard for you to catch them when they cut your halls of residence out of their route for a few hours. Even more so when those hours are ones when you need to be attending a lecture. On Stage Management, no less. So, I will explain.
Friday 29th September
10:00 - We head out of the Lodge to catch the X44 bus outside the site.
10:05 - The bus is supposed to turn up now.
10:10 - We realise the bus is going to be a bit late.
10:30 - The bus really is very late.
10:45 - We accept the fact that the bus isn't going to turn up.
11:00 - A 444 bus (also heading to Bretton Campus) drives right past us. Depsite obvious flailing.
11:15 - No other buses
11:35 - We wait for the next X44, which should be arriving now.
11:40 - It doesn't turn up.
11:42ish - We catch a 444 to Bretton.
Time wating for buses: 1 hour 42ish minutes. Total time lost from lecture: 1 hour. Time of lecture: 2 hours.
ARGH.
In other news, we are forming a rebel alliance against the smokers and are revolting. Oh yes. More on that as it develops.
AND my Bowthorpe Stagers site has been taken offline. For more details, email me. I don't want to be seen as badmouthing such a wonderful group :D

Cheesy grin and thumbs up about the bothorpe guys :D
the busses sound lame :( I thought my busses were bad.
-x-
Sheesh. I thought it was bad when the eaton bus didn't stop for me once and I had to walk. Least I could get to yours in 40 minutes walking where as you didn't really have a choice. Good move with the Stagers thing, they'll take every inch they think they deserve.
Why did my last post not appeir on the main page? How strange
Less said about the final note, the better! [see my email]
Let me know how the smoking thing goes - surely the campus has rules about that sort of thing and they should apply to all residences?
